Description

The Wavefront OBJ file type refers to the OBJ file format developed by Wavefront Technologies. This format is supported for surfaces containing triangles, quads, and N-sided poly cells beyond four edges.

 

Note: When importing Wavefront OBJ files, you have the option to compress the resultant shell which significantly reduces the memory consumption while running Fidelity Pointwise and also reduces the size of saved project files. Alternatively, shells can be compressed manually after import using the Compress Shells command.
